Mr. Walker stated he sent a memo to Council that dealt with City purchases of vacant property. He said one of the bills on unfinished business on tonight’s agenda dealt with the properties located on Plymouth. Mr. Walker said there are four properties that the City is in the process of acquiring. He said he hoped there would be some infill development on these lots. Mr. Walker said staff wants to make sure vacant properties in University City were in a position that the City could acquire them, develop them, put houses on them, and new families can move in. Mr. Walker stated that regarding Walgreens development, the City reviews were on schedule. He said Councilmember Price asked about one of the tenants that the City was dealing with and was informed the tenant would be relocating. Mr. Walker stated the project was moving ahead and there were no problems associated with that particular development. Mr. Walker discussed the City-owned property on Olive Boulevard and North and South. He said staff is proposing that a charrtte be held in February where residents can identify a preferred use or uses on that particular piece of City owned property. Afterwards staff will proceed with once again hiring a commercial realtor to market that property.  ROARS, University City’s Newsletter, “Council Corner” column and “From the Mayor’s Desk” column requested by Ms. Carr and Mr. Crow. Ms. Carr discussed the new newsletter ROARS and the two columns within the paper. She said on October 26, 2012, the Council had a meeting with Brighton at City Hall and she, Mr. Glickert, Mr. Kraft, and Mr. Sharpe attended and due to an emergency, Mayor Welsch was not able to attend because she was involved in a car accident. Ms. Carr said they discussed what they were looking for in terms of their interaction with Brighton and specifically in terms of what they wanted in a newsletter. She remembered everyone saying that they wanted something very similar to City Scape newsletter, which had a place for Councilmembers to write. She said on January 11,while talking with Mr. Walker, he mentioned that they were going to have a “Council Corner” where Councilmembers would write, but at that point, the City newsletter, ROARS was already in the mail. Ms. Carr said when they received their very nice copy of ROARS, she found that there was a column from the Mayor. She assumed the newsletter would be more like City Scape where they had one column and the members of Council rotated in terms of writing a column and a rule that no Councilmember that was running for an elected office would be writing a column at the time in front of Election Day. She said Mr. Walker provided her with a winter 2007 City Scape newsletter and there was just one column. Ms. Carr said that we were all familiar with the letter once a week from the Mayor’s desk, but noticed in the ROARS newsletter that it stated that in each issue, there would be the Mayor’s Communique and a column from a member of the City Council. Ms. Carr stated she did not know anything about it. She said it also stated coming soon future issues of ROARS would feature a section called “Council Corner”. Ms. Carr stated that they are a body of seven members and the Mayor is one of us, not above or separate from us. She said by having a separate and continuous column, she saw two issues. Ms. Carr said first issue propagated the myth of the Mayor being above or different than the rest of the Council and the second issue was that as the Mayor if she continues to write this message every two months, it would run into the election season. 9
